Driven by unresolved lines in a real German novel:
- AB_SPEECH_VERBS was missing many common inquit verbs (grunzte, versetzte,
unterbrach, drängte, herrschte, keuchte, erklärte, widersprach, warf ein …)
and had no thought verbs at all, so inner monologue ("dachte Lysandra") was
never attributed.
- A trailing inquit naming two people ("unterbrach die blonde Perdia Lysandra")
resolved to the wrong one; the grammatical subject speaks, so articles and
adjectives are skipped and the first name after the verb wins.
- A quote whose own inquit had been mistyped as dialogue could never resolve,
because the rule required the following segment to be narration. A segment
opening with a lower-case speech verb is an inquit whatever its type; it is
now accepted and its type corrected.
Verified on the book: resolves further lines with no LLM call.
